Paid Surveys In Chicago

Does anyone know of any LEGITIMATE jobs that you can do from home?
I’m not looking for a “get rich quick” scheme, just something to supplement our income. I was working as a P/T receptionist/admin asst. for 4 years, but quit a couple of months ago because the pay sucked and it just wasn’t worth leaving my kids at home alone ( ages 17, 17 and 12). I had a promising career 17 years ago, but had to leave when twins were born prematurely. I have tons of office related skills – good phone manner, computer literate, customer service, etc., etc. I am also extremely responsible and motivated.
I have checked into things offered on the internet, such as “paid surveys” and they all seem like scams. I also have lots of “work-at-home moms” sending me e-mails that all sound like scams – they want you to subscribe for a fee.
PLEASE, any positive suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I live in the SW suburbs of Chicago, if that helps. Maybe you have a good experience
You’re right, I’ve tried most ‘work from home’ jobs, and they are all scams. Haven’t made a penny from any of them. I guess your best bet would be babysitting.
thanks Lysol!!
